David Sifry, founder of Technorati and Offbeat Guides, talks about building international businesses.
Two quick points: you need to find great local people you can trust,
and you need to make sure they are properly connected and can execute.

Report: U.S. Workers Are Most Productive:
"Only part of the U.S. productivity growth, which has outpaced that of
many other developed economies, can be explained by the longer hours
Americans are putting in, the ILO said. The U.S., according to the
report, also beats all 27 nations in the European Union, Japan and
Switzerland in the amount of wealth created per hour of work -- a
second key measure of productivity." -- AP
